North Korea’s Kim Jong-un vows to ‘send Trump a message’ amid claims he will launch missile within DAYS

In the memo, the North argued that in the five years since the death of its late leader Kim Jong-il, the country has engaged in an all-out confrontation with the US to cope with Washington’s ever-growing hostile intent and nuclear threats.

“The anachronistic hostile policy and nuclear threat that the US has enforced with unprecedented recklessness against the DPRK (North Korea) have only provoked its just and righteous countermeasures for self-defense”, the memorandum read.

This year the communist country’s military has carried out two hugely controversial nuclear weapons tests and made constant ‘war’ threats to its neighbour South Korea and the West.

The state-run media outlet claimed that the US had attempted to scare North Korea with threats of pre-emptive nuclear attacks and constant and large-scale military manoeuvres.

It also claims US-led sanctions have deprived it of the "legitimate right to peaceful development of outer space and its buildup of self-defensive nuclear deterrence".

"The US is running amok to impose unilateral sanctions", it said, adding that its believes "the root cause of escalated tension on the Korean peninsula lies with the US hostile policy and nuclear threats against the DPRK".
